This initiative represents a rededication on the part of ADU’s leadership to its social responsibility strategy, which is to engage actively with students, faculty, and our many partners, and to bridge the gap between schools and universities.”
“Entrepreneurship is the rocket fuel of the 21st century and markets are changing at an ever-increasing pace through digitalization and globalization. This fluidity of markets offers major opportunities for entrepreneurship and increasing awareness around the possible career trajectories among high school students is crucial in educating the young generation on the endless possibilities that await them.” Hochstettler added.
